‘洗耳恭听’英语怎么说 

I'm all ears.

我洗耳恭听。

先给大家讲个小故事：One day, we hired a carpenter to repair our house. I dwelt on (详细讲述)all the details that needed repairing to him. Then I asked him, "Are you clear? Can you remember all that?" "Yes!" the carpenter replied. "I am all ears!" I felt puzzled and did not know what he meant. Later my eldest son explained to me that he meant, "I am listening attentively!"

故事中的这个人一定是很奇怪那个木匠为什么要说“我全是耳朵”，还是他儿子帮他解了围。原来，I am all ears 的意思是 listening eagerly，就是专心聆听、聚精会神的听。

与I'm all ears相反的是It goes in one ear and out the other，就是我们常说的“左耳进，右耳出”。小时候妈妈经常会抱怨我们把她的话当成“耳边风”，比如下面这句话：I told the children to go to bed, but it went in one ear and out the other, and they're still here.（我叫孩子们睡觉，可他们把我的话当耳边风，还在那不动。）
